Preparation and X-ray structure of the 8a-azonia-3,4-diazaphenanthrene cation
Abstract
Summary cis-3,4-Dichlorocyclobutene reacts with 3,6-di-(2-pyridyl)-s-tetrazine in refluxing chlorobenzene to yield a new bridgehead nitrogen ring system, the 8a-azonia-3,4-diazaphenanthrene cation, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray analysis.
